Quite pleased with how the photos turned out - taken out on the veranda using macro and timer on my little Olympus compact. I still fancy a more professional photo set up I can use indoors and get reliable results.

I have recently been inspired by watching some videos online by miniature painter James Wappel, and have put in an order for some filbert brushes from Rosemary and Co. I'm hoping that they will help me with blocking in, pre-shading and blending. Check out some of his stuff online if you get a chance.
All the Best,
John.
Lovely work.
ReplyDeleteThanks Mark.
DeleteGreat job, love the mounted French officer...
ReplyDeleteCheers Phil. Not sure if the sculpt is strictly for the period, looks like he belongs slightly later?
DeleteExcellent paintwork on these guys! Stunning!
ReplyDeleteThanks Rodger, I enjoyed painting these.
DeleteOutstanding! I especially like the last shot - "Now where did they say to meet them...?"
ReplyDeleteHehe, thanks Nick :-)
DeleteWho knows what he's reading, could be a shopping list from his wife? ;-)
Excellent. Up to your usual high standards!
ReplyDeleteThanks Simon :-)
DeleteThey look great John.
ReplyDeleteFIW is such a great period—one of my favourite 'eras other than Napoleonics'!
Thanks James. Yes, the whole Seven Years War is very interesting with some great colonial flavour in the FIW.
DeleteInspiring stuff John. I'm doing my own FIW figures now - the best part about yours is that they are in Tassie and not in Sydney so I wont be shamed by having them side by side on the table :-)
ReplyDeletecheers

PS Found your blog via Mad Tin Hatter - I was chatting with James this morning on Google and he mentioned you. Glad he did - lovely stuff here!
